Description of problem: When I play some opengl game (like etracer [1] or openarena), it runs on my external display and laptop internal display is turned off. After quitting the game the laptop internal display is not turned back on, it remains off. A few times it behaved differently, but mostly it works this way.

Reassigning to SDL. Problem seems to be that SDL uses xf86vidmode, which doesn't have a clue about multihead at all. It should probably be rewritten to use xrandr, and even that would be difficult.
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
SDL 1.2.14 uses xrandr to switch modes. But it does not have a clue about multihead. SDL 1.2.15 (available in Fedora 18) does not use xrandr by default due to this reason. One control the mode switching mode by SDL_VIDEO_X11_XRANDR environment variable (value `1' to use xrandr, value `0' not to use).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I believe your problem will is fixed in F18 with SDL-1.2.15. Unfortunately, the whole fullscreen idea with Xorg multihead screen is inconsistent messy construction which cannot work in all cases. Please talk to upstream about ideas how to improve.
